    @SlashLP89 It's pretty crazy, PS Plus really finally pulling out all the stops over the last few months, I remember when every month I'd be disappointed by the crap on order so much that if I wasn't playing Overwatch so much at the time I woulda stopped paying for the service.

  • repl0id d1ne ⚡ (@repl0id) reported

    There's nothing worse than losing 10 matches in a row be #warcraft or #overwatch and you positively know its because u're up against a coordinated group that ur random team has no chance against. There are plenty of actions you can take to fix this and make the experience better.

  • ZepherZowie zowie (@ZepherZowie) reported

    @CSGO Stop ignoring us -128 tick server -Intrusive anti cheat -Live overwatch admins -Ringer for AFK -Stop queing new accounts with established accounts -unfair matches. The player base is too spread out among non prime, prime, low trust, high trust, broken fang, Faceit and ESEA ect.

  • LingoWasHisNamo LingoWasHisNamo (@LingoWasHisNamo) reported

    I think I need to stop streaming competitive #Overwatch for a few reason... 1) I'm just bad 2) my aim is worse than I am & 3) **** always turns toxic (likely me issue). So I'm looking for other games to #stream

  • OnesieLightYear Star Commands Burger Girl (@OnesieLightYear) reported

    I keep flip flopping between overwatch and fortnite overwatch genuinely pisses me off with lag problems and absolutely stupid heros like bastion and doom fist that take all the fun and fairness out of the game and It basically impossible to practice widow unless I go into VS ai

  • pharahdise fareeha amari updates (@pharahdise) reported

    'we dont want another cyberpunk' hive no ones mad lol but the thing that makes this suck is, they promised overwatch would be a live service game with regular content (heroes, maps) per year... and then theyve just stopped doing that to make a sequel no one asked for lol

  • autumnsleepy Alex (@autumnsleepy) reported

    i really just got ddos'd out of a platinum console overwatch match. it's time to open up the schools again and give these kids something better to do.

  • HA_Mockingjay Amanda アマンダ 🌸 (@HA_Mockingjay) reported

    i have been a very angry and bitter person the past few days let's see if i can fix that by playing some OVERWATCH

  • yeerusguy 💎🚀diamond hands 🇲🇦🇨🇩 (@yeerusguy) reported

  • starzeeh starzeeh (@starzeeh) reported

  • thinkingemoji__ Nick (@thinkingemoji__) reported

    @nickkrillin @Apply maybe a meta so hegemonically broken that it drags out that long is not in fact “peak overwatch” 🤔🤔

  • KazuMikuVT Tobi 🦌 | EN Deer VTuber | Re-Debut TBA (@KazuMikuVT) reported

    Sorry for the delay in streaming! First I had the whole computer crash, then issues with VR, then a few personal things but... we are back! I'm going live at about 12:30 EST with some more Overwatch with @las_shark! See y'all there! #vtuber #envtuber #vtuberen

  • jhypeeeOnLivit Jimmm (@jhypeeeOnLivit) reported

    We have been waiting 3 years for a legitimate controller nerf lmfaoooo @FortniteGame how is it that overwatch controller players have 0 aim assist and still compete with no issues. Aim assist is not needed.

  • TheManHlmself 0BRAX1S ⚡️ (@TheManHlmself) reported

    @XUndeadPotheadX @MainAlt1 @PlayStation Battlefront 2, Fortnite, Rainbow 6, Overwatch, Apex, Warframe, those are bad live service games?

  • Idobevibintho1 Evan (@Idobevibintho1) reported

    @_schlorp_ @Hsbx54453889 The problem with all this is my mom would never support me even trying to go for a job in esports. The dream right now is to do good in school and join a collegiate Overwatch team. I know I’m good enough to get recognized I just need to grins

  • TheRealNoizLc Noiz (@TheRealNoizLc) reported

    @DeadByBHVR *continues adding new random crap* *refusing to fix the actual issues with the game* Me: *continues to have 30 min queue times* I’ll go play overwatch.

    @BlizzardCS on overwatch, there’s this glitch where it keeps me in the screen where it says that the free trial has ended yet I’ve had this game since 2017. I don’t know what to do. Please help?

  • moshisweets moshi🏳️‍🌈 (@moshisweets) reported

    Ok I got my overwatch fix, I'll go back to playing monster prom and genshin impact and sims 4 now because I don't wanna play overwatch that much and become a toxic filled goblin

  • MTNaughton83 Trevor Naughton (@MTNaughton83) reported

    Newt winf her down so we can live in peace there was no issues no boraxing no boy spider until you wound her up . You cant judge if we are good without overwatch until we have lived with her wound down blame yourself

  • FNFForSmash57 Funkin in Smash! - A FNF Character For Smash🆖 (@FNFForSmash57) reported

    If Blizzard owns him as of now and they want to add Crash in, there is one person who stands in his path: Tracer from Overwatch. I won't go over Tracer yet but I feel like if Nintendo or Sakurai try to negotiate with Blizzard, they may propose Tracer to them instead.

  • ImPeachyBoi Peach (@ImPeachyBoi) reported

    Decided to play some overwatch in between classes cause I had nothing better to do. 3rd game in, last round, about 20 seconds from a win. “UNEXPECTED SERVER ERROR” I get a 50sr loss and a 30 minute ban. Nice to see that overwatch is still in the position I left it in

  • Ares_EMS Brother Paul (@Ares_EMS) reported

    @N2NOther Everyone tried to jump on the hero looter shooter genre after Overwatch became so successful, problem was, people were so invested with OW that most others didn't stand a fighting chance outside of 1-2 games

  • morbidOW2 Morbid (@morbidOW2) reported

    My mouse is broken and it makes doing anything and everything 100x more difficult. Gotta take a break from Overwatch for awhile.

  • beastmyst Beast Myst (@beastmyst) reported

    I want to confirm if anyone else is having issues with YouTube's recommended videos these past days, because I'm getting assaulted with low-quality videos (less than 500 views), Japanese videos, Spanish videos, Overwatch videos or a combination of them.

  • LESBIANJANAI k 🦑 janaya enjoyer (@LESBIANJANAI) reported

    @demifIora @TheCloudWinder it literally went to like,,, 6 fps on my computer when i was playing overwatch AND it was lagging by five seconds 😭😭😭

  • sheisameanie ☻⁷ ⟭⟬ AGUSTD2 (@sheisameanie) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why is overwatch so laggy for us Canadians. I played it a week ago or so, it was fine. Today the lag is unbearable.

  • niallhayward Niall Hayward | Nolly (@niallhayward) reported

    @Jay_Massaad Agree with your view that artificial inflation of the numbers will ultimately lead to a market-wide deflation of their value. Identical issue going on with esports broadcasting too, especially with the Overwatch League stream embedding strategies etc. Very house of cards.
